+For convenience, at least on actual deployments, you may wish to run the Vervis
+SSH server on port 22, so that people don't have to specify a custom port. For
+that to work, the user that runs the Vervis server needs to get permission to
+bind to ports below 1024. There are several ways to do that. One of them is to
+use file capabilities to give the Vervis executable the permission to bind to
+such ports (if you prefer not to trust the code, try one of the other methods,
+such as sudo):
+
+    $ sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+ep `stack exec which vervis`
